Maeve-y Milestones: A Belated Month 22 Shout-Out!

My sweet and sassy Maeve-y-girl is speeding towards her 2nd birthday and I

can. NOT. believe it!!!

Being as preggo and preoccupied as I have been ALL summer long, I've been remiss in celebrating her monthly milestones!

So, a belated, happy 22 Maeve! to my sweet little one!

Maeve is such a delight--I can't believe how wonderful this summer has been with her and her sweet big sister! Maeve is fearless, independent, loving, funny, easy-going and walks everywhere on her tip-toes.Her hair is nearly as long as her poor sister who has been growing hers out for 4.75 years now =)Speaking of Amelie, she is Maeve's best friend--they are excellent playmates! They never fight (YET!) and always have fun no matter what game they make up together!

Maeve says words here and there but really lets her sister do most of her talking! She's strings together simple sentences but is more of a jibber-jabber-er than a talky-talker.And, she's finally reached the big ol' 20 pound mark! She's huge! (Her sister was 20 pounds at 1 year, so they are def. different!!)

I love, love, love you my sweet little one! You bring us so much stinkin' joy! We are blessed to be your family and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for your future!

sheri--i think they don't fight b/c of the 3 year age difference--too far apart to compete in anything and amelie is very maternal towards maeve. and boy, is she tiny! she is rear facing and probably will be for a while yet--i'm wondering how i'm going to be able to buckle amelie's car seat in the rear seat of the van with TWO rear facing babies in the middle section!!

Pop Maeve's headrest off, as long as she is RF, and then you can easily reach over. It's been working for us beautifully. Josh was RF to 2.5, I'm thinking Leah will be celebrating the big "3" still rf. Hahahah!

I don't think Leah is 20lbs yet...I'll have to weigh her tonight. But, I'm pretty sure Maeve's got a good 4-5" on Leah. ;)

About Me

I'm a country girl trapped in a city girl's life and although I crave fresh air and acres of green grass I secretly love living close to friends, family and fun! Jesus saved me from myself and landed me with Mr. Wonderful, my loving and talented piano-playing husband, and three of the most fabulous children in the world. I love art, photography, literature, organizing, cleaning, (slow)jogging and taking care of my family. I'm a girly girl raising three precious munchkins with my love and these are our stories...

Mr. Wonderful

Mr. Wonderful is my best friend and favorite person in the land! He has been teaching high school music and math at his alma mater for over 10 years. Mr. Wonderful is the *best* husband and father--he works so hard to provide for our family and comes home and works even harder to entertain children and help me maintain the house. Love. Him. !!!

Amelie Rose

Amelie is such a good big sister and helper to me--she calls herself, 'little mama.' HA! She is getting ready to head into 2nd grade this year and absolutely LOVES school! She is taking piano lessons (following in Mommy and Daddy's footsteps) and is dying to try gymnastics. Amelie loves to dance, sing, exercise and keep us organized.

Maeve Veronica

Maeve is our feisty, fun-loving and out-going second born! She is super funny just like her Daddy! Maeve is my miracle girl and the baby the Lord sent to heal my heart after the devastation of two miscarriages. Her best friend in the world is her big sister--she's never really content unless big sister is around! Maeve loves to play pretend and can spend hours playing on her own. She is heading to pre-k this year and I just can't believe how quickly the time has gone!

Ezra Steven

Ezra is my handsome little guy and I love him so! He is completely obsessed with trucks, lining up matchbox cars, riding his scooter *superfast*, eating popsicles, and playing with his sisters. He is so funny and sweet--he loves giving kisses and hugs. Love that guy!!
